TruStem Cell Therapy™
for Alzheimer’s Disease
How are stem cells administered back into Alzheimers patients through TruStem Cell Therapy?
Systemic IV infusion of their stem cells to fully saturate the entire body
Direct Site Injections to address any secondary orthopedic conditions the patients may have as well.
If you’ve experienced any of these conditions, please contact us.
What type of stem cells are used and why?
TruStem Cell Therapy provides access to treatment that utilizes a patient’s stem cells isolated from their own bone marrow. Bone marrow contains several therapeutically useful cell types that are widely used or studied in regenerative medicine, transplantation, and immunotherapy. The main categories include:
1. Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)
Function: Generate all blood cells (red cells, white cells, platelets).
2. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
Multipotent cells that primarily function in tissue repair, regeneration and immunomodulation.
3. Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs)
Help form and repair blood vessels which can promote angiogenesis, which can increase vasculature or blood flow.
4. Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs)
Rare cells found in bone marrow which are capable of differentiating into multiple tissue types.
5. Multi-lineage-differentiating Stress-Enduring Cells(MUSE)
Stress-tolerant and pluripotent-like, meaning they can find damaged tissues, survive harsh environments, and differentiate into various cell types—such as nerve, muscle, or liver—without forming tumors
What steps are involved in receiving treatment through TruStem Cell TherapyTM?
Step 1: Harvesting Your Bone Marrow
First a blood draw is performed followed by a minimally invasive bone marrow harvest via the iliac crest. Approximately 100cc’s of a patient’s own bone marrow is harvested through a minimally invasive, bone marrow aspiration procedure. TruStem Cell Therapy utilizes a powered bone marrow access system combined with local anesthetic allowing for consistently larger specimen of cells, extremely low levels of pain/invasiveness reported by most patients, and higher levels of sterility.
Bone marrow aspirate is preferentially utilized because it is one of the richest, most accessible sources of stem cells in the human body and falls within the FDA guidelines of minimal manipulation.
Step 2: Activating Your Stem Cells
TruStem Cell Therapy uses a multi-step protocol to isolate and activate the harvested stem cells which consists of minimal manipulation.
Both the blood and bone marrow are immediately delivered to our dedicated, onsite laboratory staffed by our team of technicians. Once your sample is in the lab our advanced proprietary process isolates and excites regenerative cells and concentrates healing factors to hyper-physiological levels in order to facilitate the creation of a highly effective, injectable therapeutic.
When also treating a chronic wound a soft biomatrix is created and loaded with healing factors and regenerative cells in addition to the process above.
Step 3: Readministering Your Stem Cells
Stem Cell Clinical Studies are evaluating multiple ways to administer BMSCs, including:
Intravenously – BMSCs are delivered via a vein for distribution throughout the body.
Intranasally – BMSCs are delivered via the highly vascular pathway of the nose. This delivery pathway improves the likelihood that the re-administered stem cells are able to cross the blood-brain barrier, which normally prevents substances from entering the brain via the bloodstream. Note, too, that intranasal infusion is a non-invasive and safe delivery system, and has been shown to be effective in the delivery of a number of drugs, including steroids and insulin 8, 9.
Direct site injections – BMSCs are delivered to sites that need repair. Typically for Alzheimer’s patients this is done if they have secondary orthopedic issues to be treated.
How are stem cells administered back into Alzheimer’s patients through TruStem Cell Therapy?
Alzheimer’s patients who receive stem cell therapy through us can receive multiple systemic and targeted administration methods:
- Systemic IV infusion of their stem cells to fully saturate the entire body.
- Intranasal administration to target areas of damage in the central nervous system

Can this treatment cure Alzheimer’s Disease?
It is important for patients and caregivers to understand that current therapies, including stem cell treatment, does not provide a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. However, TruStem cell therapy does have the potential to improve a patient’s quality of life by reducing symptoms and complications related to Alzheimer’s disease as well as slowing its progression.
Are stem cells FDA approved for Alzheimer’s Disease?
The FDA has not approved stem cell therapy for Alzheimer’s disease. As noted above, studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapy for this condition but additional studies are needed before FDA approval can be secured.
What type of improvements can I expect from stem cell therapy?
It is possible through these treatments, to improve a patient’s quality of life by minimizing disease related symptoms and complications. For Alzheimer’s patients, it is possible to see improvements in any one or multiple disease related complications such as: cognitive decline, irritability, speech issues, fatigue, etc… If you have questions regarding how these treatments may help you, please contact one of our Patient Advocates to learn more.
How long will it take to see improvements?
It is difficult to predict the timeline of a patient’s response. Every patient responds differently to treatment. It could take weeks to months for the stem cells to provide noticeable results.
What type of side effects can a patient expect from stem cell therapy?
Typically patients will experience some level of soreness and bruising lasting roughly a week as a result of the bone marrow harvesting procedure. Additional complications have not been observed. Over a hundred studies and clinical trials have demonstrated the safety and minimal side-effect profile of stem cell therapy.
